Lombok – Medana Bay, Indonesia

Tugu Lombok

Hotel Tugu Lombok sits on Sire Beach on the island's northwest coast, looking across the water towards the Gili Islands with Mount Rinjani behind.

Hotel Tugu Lombok sits on Sire Beach on the island’s northwest coast, looking across the water towards the Gili Islands with Mount Rinjani behind. Like its sister Tugu properties, it is filled with Indonesian art, antiques and architectural fragments, using the collection to tell stories about Lombok and the wider archipelago rather than pursuing a generic tropical-resort aesthetic.

Accommodation

Villas, suites and bungalows are spread through gardens close to the beach. Higher categories include large beachfront pool suites with extensive private gardens, pools and direct sea views, while family pool accommodation gives groups more space. Traditional materials and carved timber are mixed with comfortable modern bathrooms and air conditioning.

Dining, wellness and time at the property

Dining can take place almost anywhere – in the open-sided Kokok Pletok restaurant, at Gedong Gandrung, on the beach, beside lotus ponds or in private pavilions. Indonesian, Asian and international menus are supplemented by theatrical dining experiences, cooking classes and sunset boat outings. The spa draws on Indonesian treatments, while the calm water in front of the hotel is suited to swimming and snorkelling.

Northwest Lombok

The location puts the Gili Islands within easy reach without requiring guests to stay amid their busier tourism scene. Inland, northern Lombok offers waterfalls, villages and views towards Rinjani, while the hotel’s own beach is calm enough to make staying put equally attractive.

How it fits into a Private Hideaway Escapes itinerary

Tugu Lombok is a strong alternative to Bali for clients wanting a quieter beach stay with more cultural personality. The Gili Islands are a short boat ride away, and inland excursions can explore villages, waterfalls and the landscapes around Rinjani. We would normally allow four nights or more, particularly if it follows a busy touring itinerary.
